The Bodhisattva of Buddhism, the real person of the Taoist Gate, is of the same level.

There are twelve Taoists in the Daomen, and there are six Buddhas in the Buddha Sect. Many real people, bodhisattvas. They are powerful and rarely come into the world. This time, the Two Realms Mountain had too much influence on the pattern of the cultivation world, so Veda Bodhisattva came to the Two Realms Mountain.

There are two things that bodhisattvas practice: one is self-interest, and the other is altruism. The so-called "self-interest" is the continuum of maturing oneself, and the so-called "altruism" refers to the continuum of self-interest and the maturity of the people around them, so that they are also interested in the bodhi path.

The method of "self-interest" is to practice the prajnamita, purify the paramita, endure the humiliation, diligently meditate, and wisdom paramita. In other words, the practice of the six paramitas is for the sake of maturing one's own continuum.

The method of "benefiting sentient beings" is the practice of "four shots". For example, for a person who does not believe in the Dharma, you can first give him some money to make him interested in the Dharma, which is generosity.

Second, after he is interested, he should be told some beautiful and touching biographies and witty sayings of the Buddha, so that he will be happy with the Dharma, which is the language of love, and third, let him practice the bodhisattva path and practice some methods of making trade-offs, which is the beneficial practice.

Fourth, I also do it with him and practice together, which is what we are working with. With these four conveniences, we can enable those who have not yet given birth to faith to become believers, those who have not entered the path to enter the path, and those who have not attained the path of increasing the path can increase the path. Those who have not attained perfection will attain perfection, and those who have not attained perfection will attain perfection. This is altruism.

The practice of a bodhisattva is different from that of ordinary monks.

True people want to cultivate to the position of Taoist monarch, and Bodhisattvas are the same, they want to achieve positive results.

There is a Bodhisattva in Buddhism, named Jizo Bodhisattva, whose strength is very strong, not worse than the Buddha, but he is only called "Bodhisattva". Jizo Bodhisattva, "Jizo Ten Wheel Sutra" said that it "patience and immobility, like the earth, quiet and deep, like a secret store", so it is named.

He once said, "Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha." ”

Jizo Bodhisattva is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism, and is known as the four great bodhisattvas together with the great wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Great Pessimistic Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Daxing Puxian Bodhisattva, and is deeply respected by the world. Because of its long history, he has repeatedly made a vow: "Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, all sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven." ”

Therefore, it is also revered as the Great Wish Jizo King Bodhisattva.

According to Buddhist scriptures, in order to make sentient beings believe in cause and effect and take refuge in the Three Jewels in the five turbid and evil worlds, Jizo Bodhisattvas often appear as monks, or shaved their heads or wear a crown of Pilu, wearing robes, holding a tin staff in one hand, holding a jewel in the other, and using a unicorn monster shaped like a lion as a mount, whose name is "Di Ting" or "Good Listening".

It can bear everything, all mountains and mountains, and everything is on the ground. It is a metaphor for the merits of a bodhisattva, who can bear all difficulties and perform austerities for all sentient beings, and that the earth also depends on righteousness, and all life is born according to the earth. All the merits and good dharmas of self-interest and altruism in the world exist and arise according to this bodhisattva.

It has the meaning of secret tolerance and education, which means that the bodhisattva is in deep meditation and can nurture and guide all sentient beings to perfection. The collector is also the treasure of the world, the treasures are sufficient, can help the poor, benefit the people, Yu Bodhisattva has the three to come

The secret treasure of virtue, the immeasurable wealth of the Dharma, giving to all afflicted sentient beings, so that they can achieve spiritual attainment, and ascend to the shore of enlightenment. "Jizo Ten Wheel Sutra" cloud: Patience is like the earth, and meditation is deep like a secret treasure, hence the name Jizo.

According to the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra, there was a Brahmin woman who "believed in evil and always despised the Three Jewels", and soon after her death, "the soul fell into the infernal hell".

The Brahmin woman knew that her mother was suffering in hell, so she sold her house and offered money to the Buddhist temple. Later, under the guidance of Wang Rulai, he sleepwalked in hell, saw that the ghost king was not poisonous, and asked his mother to get out of hell.

When the brahmin woman woke up and knew that she was sleepwalking, she made a vow in front of the statue of King Rulai: "May I do my best to do my best to do my best to sin and suffer sentient beings, and to make it convenient and liberating." ”

Shakyamuni Buddha told Manjushri, "The Brahmin woman, the Jizo Bodhisattva, is. "That is to say, Jizo's previous life was a Brahmin woman who sought her mother to escape hell.

It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, a monk from the Silla Kingdom, Kim Qiaojue, crossed the sea by boat and came to China. Seeing that the peaks and peaks of Jiuhua Mountain are stacked, it is a good place to cultivate, so he chose a place to live in the mountain and devoted himself to practice.

It is said that although he was sixty years old at that time, his body was unusually strong, "with a strange bone, a body seven feet long, and a hundred times his strength"

He chose the East Cliff Rock, sat in meditation and chanted all day long, and was later discovered by the mountain people Zhuge Festival, and the people were greatly moved. After his deeds spread, he received donations from the local mountain owner surnamed Min and others, so he built a temple and opened a dojo.

After Jin Qiaojue died, he was buried in the Moon Body Treasure Hall of Shenguangling, commonly known as the "Body Tower". According to the "Biography of the Song High Monks", "Heavy Monk Sou Shen Ji", etc., Jin Qiaojue "sat in the letter, so he did not become the king of the earth", after three years, "open the letter to see it, the color is like life, the bones are moving, if the gold lock is shaken, with (then) the name of the gold Tibet".

Because he believed in Jizo Bodhisattva during his lifetime, and legend has it that his appearance resembled Jizo Ruixiang, people believed that he was the reincarnation of Jizo Bodhisattva. Jiuhua Mountain is also considered to be the Jizo Bodhisattva Dojo.

The belief in Jizo Bodhisattva is becoming more and more popular among the people. Every year on the 30th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, that is, the legendary birthday of Jizo Bodhisattva, believers from all over the world come to Jiuhua Mountain to worship.

Jiuhua Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in Kyushu and is the dojo of Jizo Bodhisattva. Jiuhua Mountain is majestic, the natural scenery and cultural landscape are integrated, and it is known as "the first mountain in the southeast".

The ancient temples in the mountains are numerous, the cigarette smoke is swirling, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the spirit is beautiful and quiet, and it is known as the "Lotus Buddha Country". The famous temples include Ganlu Temple, Huacheng Temple, Gion Temple, Zhantanlin, Baisui Palace, Shang Zen Hall, Huiju Temple, etc., with more than 1,000 pieces of cultural relics collected.

After Jin Qiaojue, Jiuhua Mountain became a dojo for the believers of the ten directions to worship and worship. Inspired by the grand wish of the Jizo Bodhisattva of "all living beings are exhausted, the proof of Bodhi, the hell is not empty, and the vow is not to become a Buddha", since the Tang Dynasty, the number of monasteries has increased, the monks have gathered, and the incense is in full bloom in the world.

Jizo Bodhisattva, patience and immobility are like the earth, and meditation is as deep as a secret store. The Bodhisattva is in deep meditation and can nurture and guide all sentient beings, help the needy, and benefit mankind and heaven. The Bodhisattva has immeasurable wealth and gives everything

Afflict the people, make them achieve cultivation, and ascend to the shore.

The Veda Bodhisattva in front of Xie Baoshu is strong, and he is not an opponent.

But he said such overbearing words.

The six realms of reincarnation are the sayings of Buddhism.

According to Buddhism, the world in which people live in the Three Realms is called the world of Buddhahood.

The sentient beings of this sampa world, according to the karma of suffering and happiness, dwell in the realm of desire, the realm of color, and the realm of colorlessness. Among them, the realm of desire is the mixed residence of all beings of the six realms. The sentient beings who live here are all born here because they are greedy for the pleasures of the five desires and create good and evil karma. Among them, humans, celestial beings, and asuras are those who cultivate more good and create less evil in the human world, and they are born here to receive retribution. The first phase of the fruit is exhausted, and it enters the six realms of reincarnation.

Beasts, hungry ghosts, and hellish beings are born here to receive retribution because they have done a lot of evil and cultivated little good in the world. The first phase of hard retribution is exhausted, and he enters the six realms of reincarnation. The color realm and the colorless realm are places where pure heavenly beings live. The celestial beings of the color realm and the colorless realm are born here with the sense of cultivation of good karma and the sense of destiny. When the limited heavenly blessings are exhausted, they must also re-enter the six realms of reincarnation. The beings of the Suva realm are imprisoned here without a beginning, and they are reincarnated in life and death.

Therefore, the Buddha called the world of sampa "the Three Realms of Hell".

Six karmic causes: Humanity is the main place of karma and the "source" of the six realms. In a lifetime, people can create hundreds of trillions of karmic causes and consequences of birth and death. Life is the end of a period of cause and effect. How the next karma begins depends on the mind that arises from this life and at the end of life.

People keep the five precepts all their lives, there is no great good or evil, and they are born in humanity according to bad and disgusting in the end. If a person is greedy, he will end his life according to greed, and he will end up in the path of ghosts; if he is stupid all his life, he will be born into the way of animals according to his foolish heart; if he or she creates many sins in his life, he will end up in hell if he is led by sinful karma.

A person who does ten good deeds in his life, and at the end of his life he ascends to heaven according to his good karma, but he does good deeds in his life, but the good is mixed with arrogance, jealousy, hatred, and strife, and at the end of his life, he will give birth to the asura path.

There are twenty-eight layers in the heavenly realm, six in the desire realm, eighteen in the color realm, and four in the colorless realm. The blessings and goodness cultivated by celestial beings are different in size, and they are born into different levels of heaven and enjoy good fortune.

The higher the celestial realm, the longer the lifespan and the greater the blessings.

The lowest level of the four heavenly kings, living in Mount Meru, the Mount Meru of Buddhism, is similar to the blessed land of the cave heaven of the Taoist gate.

This day is divided into four heavenly regions, southeast, northwest and northwest, and each district has a king every day, so it is called the four heavenly kings. The Four Heavenly Kings, that is, the four mighty gods in the Heavenly King Hall in the Buddhist temple, are commonly known as the "Four Great King Kongs". They are: the king of the eastern holding country, holding the pipa, leading the Gan Min Po and the Vaisha god generals, and protecting the East Shengshen Continent among the four major continents.

The king of southern growth, holding a sword, leading the dove Pantu and Xue Li, and protecting the southern Ganbu continent among the four major continents. The wide-eyed king of the West, with a dragon in his hand, a dragon and a wealthy general, protects the West Niu Hezhou in the four continents.

The king of heaven in the north, holding an umbrella in his right hand and a silver rat in his left, leading the night*, the Rakshasa god general, protects the northern Luzhou in the four continents. Each of the Four Heavenly Kings has eight famous generals and ninety-one sons, and their duties are to protect the four continents, manage all kinds of ghosts and gods, prevent human beings from being invaded, and maintain peace in the world.

If the four heavenly kings are out of control and the ghosts and gods are in chaos, then the sun, moon and stars will be out of control, the wind and rain will be out of tune, and there will be wars and disasters in the world. The people ruled by the Four Heavenly Kings

In addition to the land of this day, there are also scattered in the small mountains around Mt. Meru. The city where the Four Heavenly Kings live is solemn and magnificent.

The second is translated as "thirty-three days" and is named after the thirty-three kingdoms of heaven. On the top of Sumeru, the center is the main emperor Shakti, the lord of the thirty-three days of the emperor Shakti resides, there are eight heavenly kingdoms in each of the eight directions, four corners and four peaks, and there is the protector of the emperor Shakti, Vajrapani.

Emperor Shi resides in the good present city, the circumference is 10,000 by the ten, there is a special palace, the week is by the ten, there are many cars, miscellaneous forests, rough evil, Xilin four gardens outside, there are round trees in the northeast outside the city, the flowers are fragrant and fragrant by 100 years, and there are good halls in the southwest. It is the auditorium and conference hall of the emperor. Thirty-three days of people are one hundred years tall, weigh six baht, live for 1,000 years, and be a hundred years in the world in one day, and their daily life span is 36.5 million years in the world.

On the third night, the heavenly sky, which translates as "good division", "hour", and "wonderful goodness", is in the void of 160,000 years above the heavens of Deli, where "the sun and the moon cannot shine in the light, and it is the light of all people."

The fourth day of the Doushi day, this day there is a bright body, two miles of high school, two baht in weight, 4,000 years old, one day is equal to 400 years in the world, and its life span is 584 million years in the world. This day the palace is divided into two courtyards, the inner courtyard is the pure land where the Bodhisattva lives in the life, and is now abbot by Maitreya Bodhisattva.

The outer courtyard is the heaven of desire. Buddhism believes that for cultivators, Tushitian is the best place in the world of desire, especially the inner courtyard of Tushi, which is the destination that many Buddhists yearn for. The "Nirvana Sutra" says: "Tushi Tuotian, the desire to win in the realm, those who are in the lower heavens, their hearts are relaxed, and those who are in the heavens, the roots are dull", all of which are not as pure and less desireful as all beings in this heaven, and they are free to do nothing. All the heavens in the upper and lower realms came here to listen to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

The eighth volume of the "Lengyan Sutra" said that this day "does not connect with the heavenly realm of the lower realm, and even destroys it, and the three calamities are not in time", and it is a quiet and safe place.

The fifth Lotte is also translated as "Lotte Change", "Lotte Change", "Wonderful Change", and is above the Doushi Heaven, 1.64 billion by ten years. This celestial man is two and a half miles tall, weighs one baht, has a lifespan of 8,000 years, and has a lifespan of 2,336 million years in the world. The name "Huale" means that this celestial person can change all kinds of pleasant utensils at will and entertain at will.

Sixth, he is free in the sky, abbreviated as "he turns into heaven", and is above the 1.28 billion in heaven. This celestial man is three miles tall, weighs half a baht, has a lifespan of 16,000 years, and has a total of 1,600 years in the world, and his life span is 9,344 million years in the world.

The six desires of heaven and man not only live a long life, but also enjoy all kinds of pleasures, no illness and no suffering, natural food and clothing, do not work hard, and do not worry about livelihood. Its appearance is dignified and beautiful, the world often says that the beauty is as beautiful as the fairy, and the Buddhist scriptures say that the most beautiful among the people, compared to the heavenly maiden, just like a macaque compared with people. The palace garden utensils are clean and elegant.

Although the heavens live a long and happy life, and are the envy of the world, they still have their afflictions, and in the two heavens of the world of desire, there are those who are relatively poor and have little blessings in the world, or who are concubines and are controlled by him, or whose supernatural powers are not as good as they want, or who are threatened by the war of the asuras, and no matter how long they live and how great the blessings are, even if they are gods, they will eventually die.

Six Desires before dying

There are five kinds of signs: the disappearance of the body, the unhappiness of the seat, the withering of the flower crown, the dirt of the clothes, the smell of sweat, the celestial maidens who have frolicked and played together in their lives, when they see this "five decays appearing", they all stay away. And with the eyes of heaven to see where we will be born, if it falls, it will be even more terrible and terrible, and the pain will be unbearable, like hell.

Non-thinking and non-thinking in heaven is the extreme practice of cultivators in the world. After cultivating at this point, the practitioner no longer cultivates, and thinks that he has attained the ultimate nirvana. Practitioners settle here, like ice insects and fish frozen there, and enjoy 84,000 great tribulations. After the 84,000 eons, when the blessings of heaven are exhausted, and when they will fall, they slander that there is no ultimate nirvana. As soon as you slander the Dharma, you will fall straight into hell and re-enter reincarnation.

It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that the time of life. There are also gods who are born. For example, the Huayan Sutra says: "If life has been, there are two heavens that follow each other, one is the same birth, and the other is the same name." People are common in the sky, but people are not seen in the sky. This cover is the so-called good and evil boy who remembers the good and evil of people.

In the "Dizang Sutra", in order to save her mother, the Brahmin woman sold her wealth to support the Three Jewels, and paid homage to the Buddha with a pious heart. In other words, our spiritual path should also be so righteous and courageous, not only can we break through greed and sacrifice foreign wealth, but after seeing the face of the Buddha, we will sacrifice our lives for the realization of the truth, and put life and death aside.

For every bodhisattva, it is extremely difficult to practice.

Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor, when he was not yet a monk, the master asked him to lick rice, but he was short and thin, and he couldn't step on the stones of the rice. What should I do? Tie a stone to my body and increase my weight with a waist stone.

When the Fifth Patriarch saw it, he said: "Those who seek the Tao forget their bodies for the Fa, and they should be like this!"

The same is true of Master Hui Ke, the second ancestor of Dongtu, who heard that Patriarch Bodhidharma practiced Buddhism exquisitely, so he went to pay homage and ask to see him. At that time, Patriarch Bodhidharma meditated on the front wall and stood still. Master Hui Ke knelt outside the cave, there was a lot of snow in the sky, and the snow was waistless overnight, but Master Hui Ke's expression became more and more respectful.

After dawn, Patriarch Bodhidharma asked him, "What should I ask for in the snow for a long time?"

Master Hui Ke replied, "I hope that Master Hui will be merciful and open the nectar method so that he can benefit from the breadth of sentient beings." ”

Patriarch Bodhidharma reprimanded: "The supreme wonderful path of all Buddhas must be practiced diligently after many tribulations, and only with the virtues of being difficult to do, unbearable and enduring, can they be finally achieved." With a little virtue and wisdom like you, you still want to take the fruit directly?"

After hearing this, Master Hui Ke took a knife and cut off his left arm, and for a while blood splashed red in the snow, and the Bodhidharma Patriarch felt his will, and finally taught the Dharma.

It is difficult to become a bodhisattva, and it is even more difficult to become a Buddha.

In the face of the Bodhisattva's provocation, this Vedic Bodhisattva did not say much to Xie Baoshu, he raised his hand gently.

A golden body appeared on the Dragon Temple, very tall. Xie Baoshu stood beside him, like an ant. Seeing this, Yang Shangui on the side hurriedly took a sword to protect Xie Baoshu. Jing Ning too, turned into the body of a real dragon and rushed to the Dragon Temple.

Only one chant was heard.

The sword of the Yang Mountain Ghost.

And the real dragon.

Bounced off one after another.

The big hand of the golden body of the law, towards it

Xie Baoshu grabbed it, and Vedic Bodhisattva said loudly: "Even mortals dare to talk about it in front of this work. If you want to try the six realms of reincarnation, then I will fulfill you. ”

Xie Baoshu swung the evil knife with all his might, but it was useless.

After grabbing Xie Baoshu, behind the golden body of Vedic Bodhisattva, three heads and six arms appeared. Suddenly, several other arms grabbed the sky and tore a hole in it with a sharp slam. I don't know what's in there, and it looks very scary.

Vedic Bodhisattva smiled and said, "The six realms of reincarnation have returned, do you dare to go in?"

At this time, Xie Baoshu didn't want to go in, so he had to go in.

Fa Xiang's big hand grabbed Xie Baoshu and threw him into the opening in the sky. On the ground, Jing Ning and Yang Shan ghosts pounced towards the opening. But just as they were about to enter, the opening slammed shut.
